Minecraft: Global Infinite Survival

That said, Lin Fan definitely wouldn't abandon Lilian.

After all, compared to a few apples, Lilian's utility far outweighed the cost.

Lin Fan forced himself to chew and swallow the rotten flesh. His hunger bar quickly restored 4 points, but at the same time, he entered the [Hunger] debuff state.

This [Hunger] state didn't affect his physical capabilities but made him feel incredibly hungry.

In his previous life, playing the game, he hadn't thought much of the [Hunger] debuff. But now… Lin Fan was finding it pretty unbearable.

His stomach growled with hunger, and his mouth was left with the bitter, rotten aftertaste of the flesh.

It seemed that tomorrow's top priority would still be searching for food.

After all, survival in a game like this was all about… well, surviving.

Thirty seconds later, the [Hunger] state ended, and Lin Fan felt a bit more comfortable. His hunger bar still had 7 points, so he wouldn't need to worry about food for the time being.

The problem, however, was that his Thirst bar was now down to just 4 points.

Perhaps because he had just eaten rotten flesh, his thirst level seemed to drop even faster than before.

Lin Fan hadn't expected that after playing Minecraft for nine years, he'd be facing survival challenges on the very first night. If this got out, the Earth Minecraft community would surely laugh him to death.

He let out a helpless sigh.

According to the original game mechanics, river water couldn't be drunk directly.

To drink water, he'd need to first craft glass bottles.

Though Lin Fan had a furnace and could smelt glass, where was he supposed to find sand in the middle of the night?

What, go outside with a stone sword to gather it? Lin Fan glanced out at the zombies.

At some point, the small hut had become completely surrounded by zombies, with a few skeletons on the outer edges.

With so many mobs, all of them with 40 HP, stepping out of the hut would likely mean being torn apart by the horde in seconds.

Forget it.

Lin Fan abandoned the idea of going out at night. Instead, he pulled out his stone axe and removed two blocks from the bottom layer of the wooden hut.

Previously, the 1x1 gap in the wall had been sufficient for him to farm mobs alone. But now, with Lilian helping, he needed to widen the gap to increase efficiency.

Lin Fan moved closer to the edge, where a skeleton was drawing its bow and aiming at the hut.

But its arrows couldn't reach Lin Fan and only struck the wooden planks or grass blocks around the hut.

Using this "leg farming" method, dealing with mobs was a breeze.

The skeleton followed the zombies, slowly approaching the gap. Seizing the moment, Lin Fan swung his stone sword at it.

The blow landed on the skeleton with a loud crack, reducing its HP to 35/40.

Like the zombies, the skeletons in this world had double their normal HP.

But that didn't matter. These mobs weren't exactly smart—they wouldn't flee when they were losing like animals might.

The skeleton continued its relentless approach despite being struck. It let out a low growl of pain and lunged toward Lin Fan again, only to run straight into his stone sword.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan delivered another blow. After a few more rounds, the skeleton disintegrated into a puff of smoke, leaving bones and arrows scattered on the ground, along with a glowing green experience orb.

[Ding~! Congratulations to Lin Fan for achieving the first Skeleton kill! Reward granted!]

The large notification flashed in front of Lin Fan, and another item appeared in his inventory.

Lin Fan paused to check his backpack, while the world chat erupted with activity.

"What's going on? Is it Lin Fan again?"

"Still him? The same guy got first kills on two types of mobs?"

"Could it just be someone with the same name?"

"Probably not, right?"

"Holy crap, this guy is the real monster! It's been less than ten minutes since he killed the zombie, and now he's killed a skeleton?"

"I just wanna know—where are all those people who were trash-talking Lin Fan earlier? Go ahead, say something now!"

"Lin Fan is a living demonstration of survival of the fittest, natural selection in action."

"Although he talks like a show-off, why do I find him kind of cool?"

In the lonely night, most players had sealed themselves in enclosed spaces to avoid the monsters outside.

Since they stayed still, their hunger bar dropped more slowly, so most people weren't in immediate danger.

However, the night was incredibly dull. Without beds to sleep in, they couldn't skip the night, and apart from chatting in the world channel, there was nothing to do.

This made Lin Fan particularly eye-catching tonight, becoming the center of discussion.

Meanwhile, in some remote location, some people were hiding in a mine, analyzing the events of the night.

"Who exactly is this Lin Fan? How did he manage to kill two types of monsters in just a few minutes?"

"Even our research team hasn't figured out how to deal with zombies and skeletons. How did he do it?"

"Well… we don't know. We sent him a friend request just now, but he didn't accept it."

"Director Li, are you suggesting we recruit him?"

"Yes, bring him into the research division. I have a feeling that surviving in this virtual world will require someone like him."

"But do you think Lin Fan will agree?"

"We're a state-owned enterprise. For someone without any background, joining us would be a great honor. I don't believe anyone would refuse."

"Alright, I'll inform the other divisions and see if we can find a way to contact him."

No one found this plan unreasonable.

After all, every day they failed to devise a survival plan meant another day of suffering.

Now, the entire research division hoped someone would quickly solve the problem of survival in this virtual world. Naturally, no one cared whether Lin Fan's credentials suited entry into the research division.

As for whether Lin Fan was willing to join, that wasn't even on their radar.

After all, they were a national organization. Being part of a government research division was a once-in-a-lifetime honor for anyone.

They firmly believed no one would reject an invitation from the institute.

What they didn't realize was that this world was no longer the same as before.

A state-owned enterprise? So what?

In this world, only Lin Fan knew the crafting recipes. He could thrive and develop on his own here. He had no intention of working for someone else or becoming someone's lackey.

He planned to survive, grow, and eventually dominate this world.

Make Lin Fan a lackey?

Not happening!

At this moment, Lin Fan opened his backpack to check what reward he'd received for killing the skeleton.

When he opened it, he saw a golden block glowing inside.

He paused for a moment, then pulled the block out of his inventory.

"This is… a Lucky Block?" Lin Fan's voice carried a trace of excitement.

Lucky Blocks weren't part of Minecraft's original survival mode. To play with them, you needed to add a mod to your game.

Until now, Lin Fan had assumed this world was nothing more than a survival-mode Minecraft clone. But now, it seemed he had been wrong.

'If there's a Lucky Block mod, maybe there are others,' Lin Fan thought, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

His mind raced, envisioning all sorts of possibilities: Sim-U-Craft, SlashBlade, Twilight Forest, Skyblock, AdventureCraft, Equivalent Exchange, Grimoire of Gaia, AoA, Pam's HarvestCraft, and countless other mods.

Maybe this world could incorporate them all, letting him build a reality beyond his wildest imagination!
